24 分钟In this episode, health psychologist Kelly McGonigal shares how stress and anxiety can enhance our communication.
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, she's tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
How we approach our communication and how we approach others when we're nervous about our communication can make a tremendous difference in feeling confident and portraying that confidence.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast I am really excited today to chat with Kelly McGonagall.
Kelly is a lecturer at Stanford GSB who teaches a class on presentation and communication skills for academics.
She is also the best selling author of the Willpower Instinct, the Upside of stress in her latest book is the joy of how exercise helps us find happiness, hope, connection, and courage.
Welcome, Kelly.
